I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself ahead of starting my new role at Blewbury Endowed CE Primary School in January. As an experienced school leader I have worked in a range of primary schools both as Headteacher and as a part of a Local Authority School Improvement Team. For the past year I have been working for an ODST school as Interim Headteacher but the majority of my experience has been as Executive Headteacher of two village primary schools. As such, I am so looking forward to getting to know the pupils, parents, staff and village community at Blewbury and to playing a significant part in leading the continued journey of school improvement. Before the end of this term I will be visiting school to meet with pupils and staff. During one of the visits I plan to be at the school gate and hope to meet some of you in person. I will also be present at the virtual meeting for parents on Thursday 3rd December Lisa Austin, Executive Headteacher
